Paiján culture
La Libertad Department, Peru
The Paiján culture was an archaeological culture that emerged on the northern coast of Peru between 13,000 and 10,000 cal BP (11,000-8,000 BCE). It was first described by Peruvian archaeologist Rafael Larco Hoyle in the 1940s from the Pampa de los Fósiles site. Later research by French archaeologist Claude Chauchat identified dozens of open air sites, which include camps, workshops and quarries. Chivateros is a notable prehistoric stone tool quarry in the Ventanilla District of Peru associated with Paijan culture. Generally, this culture would belong to the Lithic stage of cultural development.
